similar to: [PATCH 00/16] External building, update for 2.6.33 and multiple root devices.

We currently use KLIBCKERNELSRC and KLIBCKERNELOBJ variables which used to be required to point to a kernel source and object directories. However the kernel headers were reorganised starting in Linux 3.7 such that that doesn't work properly. This series removes KLIBCKERNELOBJ and changes the use and documentation of KLIBCKERNELSRC to be consistent. Ben. Ben Hutchings (4): [klibc]

- Renamed IMAGE_BASE to LD_IMAGE_BASE_OPT. - Moved "-fcommon" to KLIBCREQFLAGS in scripts/Kbuild.klibc. - Remove "dash" warning fixes which have been upstreamed. - Conditionalize the inclusion of compiler flags by using the proper compiler name or "cc-option". - Added "-Werror" to "cc-option" to catch flags that cause warnings. - Retain

Remove FORCE from the list used by if_changed and friends. Otherwise the target will always be considered out of date when built with make 3.82.

This is a series of patches for clang compatibility: - Using flags needed flags and removing unsupported flags. - Adding support for clang's LLD linker. - Removing a variety of warnings.

Hi hpa & others. Following is a list of issues that I hope to be addressed soon so we are in even better shape for -mm inclusion. 1) rebuild initramfs when content changes. > It is a simple matter of copying in usr/Makefile from the latest > -linus kernel and replace the 10 first lines with the content from > klibc Kbuild file. 2) havesyscalls.h is not deleted after make

This patchset applies to klibc mainline. This patchset introduces the ability to kinit to execute scripts or executable files present in in the initramfs before switching over to the root filesystem. It is implemented by first implementing scandir() and alphasort() as present in POSIX.1-2008 in klibc itself, and then using that as the basis for iterating and executing files via a run_scripts()

This patchset applies to klibc mainline. This patchset introduces the ability to kinit to execute scripts or executable files present in in the initramfs before switching over to the root filesystem. This functionality is implemented in a newly introduced run_parts() call, which calls scandir() to iterate through files which in then executes in sequence. run_parts() is also available as a

I have updated the klibc patchset based on feedback received. In particular, the patchset has been reorganized so as not to break git-bisect. Additionally, this updates the patch base to 2.6.17-git12 (d38b69689c349f35502b92e20dafb30c62d49d63) and klibc 1.4.8; the main difference on the klibc side is removal of obsolete code. This is also available as a git tree at:

Hi Peter & others. Here are three patches that does the following: #1 - Update kbuild part of klibc so make clean works Adds gzip including a sample kbuild file #2 - Factor out definition of usr/ to two variables #3 - Move kbuild files to reflect location in the kernel As requested in earlier mail I need a bit of guidiance of what you expect from the kernel integrated parts of klibc.

This patch adds the ability to kinit to allow the dropping of POSIX capabilities. kinit is modified by this change, such that it understands the new kernel command line "drop_capabilities=" that specifies a comma separated list of capability names that should be dropped before switching over to the next init in the boot strap (typically on the root disk). When processing capabilities

Building on the work in ff0a614bd724f6c4c6a5014a9955dc1bc028f336, this moves the capability code down into the run-init library, so that run-init can use it as well, via the new "-d" flag.

This fixes a long standing issue where it was not possible to do "make usr/klibc/arch/x86_64/longjmp.o" in the kernel. The principle is that all .o files to be part of klibc are listed with klib-y. For each directory a klib.list file is made that specify all .o file and the final AR then adds all .o files to create libc.a. This patch introduce the infrastructure and converts x86_64 to

From: Michael Davidson <md at google.com> Add cc-name to klibc/scripts/Kbuild.include. Make optimization flags not supported by clang conditional on cc-name. Don't use -nostdinc when building klibc. While klibc doesn't (shouldn't) use the standard header files supplied by the toolchain, it does still need to be able to find the compiler-specific header file
